ywc - day 5...

the finale... the conference comes to an end...

with unending praises... with a very powerful sermon... giving a challenge to all Christ followers - to live out our faith... to live out our Christ-like lives... no more talking but act it out... show our faith in action!

wanna take a look and get the feel of the conference... here is my online album: http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4285979093

ywc - day 4...

meeting ppl is always exciting... meeting ppl with the same vision as u do is a real blessing... coz we can share and pray for each other... but u will find that our situations and needs may be just exactly the same... so bro/sis from all over the world: let's live out our lives... coz Jesus Christ is the life - LIVE!

here is a story i wanna share with u... this is a testimony of a pastor in india... he comes from a little village in india... they are not rich and have a very very very tight budget (no $$$) indeed... but why and how he can have enough $$$ for attending the conference, esp $$$ for flight ticket... bro/sis from his church raised fund for him so that he can come... wah... isn't it amazing... Hallelujah~~~

have learnt so many things in these few days... will take me some times to sit down, think and re-think... may the Lord give me insight... give me vision... give me faith and courage to take up the challenge... and be His REAL disciple...

tmr will be the closing celebration... the last 2.5 hours for "charging the battery"... thx God...

ywc - day 3...

my list of new friends is getting longer and longer... more from the united states, australia, india... and more from taiwan (taipei and taitung as well)... will soon be running out of memory for all these new names... =p i have also met some old, old friends there...

back to the conference itself... the whole thing is just like a party... all the time praise the Lord... by all means... in different languages... we party... party and party... but we are NOT party-ing for ourselves... we party for Jesus... Hallelujah...

woh... have to sleep now... otherwise will not have enough energy for tmr's challenges... yeah~!

ywc - day 2...

meeting, meeting and meeting so many ppl today... from uk, norway, danmark, united states, bahamas, india, china, taiwan and hongkong... wooooooooh... dunno how many ppl i would know after the conference...

we shared our difficulties in mobilising youth ministry in our countries... and we prayed for each other... what a wonderful fellowship time we have had... thank you Jesus... thank you, thank you so much... ^^

p.s. there should be about 3,000-something attendees... rather than 2,000 i reported yesterday...

ywc - day 1...

the opening ceremony / celebration is great... there are about 2000 christians from different parts of the world praising God together... the REAL worship is over there... all the seminars and workshops will start tmr... so let's see what's going on next...

ooops... have i introduced the theme of the conference so far... sorry i missed that... this year's theme is "Jesus Christ is the life... LIVE!"

cas x ywc...

back from the cas 2004 music camp...

last year i visited... but it was just a one-day camp (coz of sars)... this time it is a really "camp" - from friday nite to sunday nite... a total of 2 days and 4 hours: full of music-related matters...

have met so many talented christian musicians: many are famous in the industry indeed... learnt so much from different workshops: from conducting to church music history, from leading worship to group singing... thx God for having dr martin chien (from taiwan) as the keynote speaker: what a genius scholar, pastor, composer, musician...

so i will keep on dreaming... but finding the way leading to "dream come true"...

keep on the momentum as more is coming...

ywc - 14th baptist youth world conference... starting from wed evening till sun morning... a conference of youth, for youth, and about youth... longing for that... meeting ppl from all over the world... with the vision and mission for youth ministry... yeah yeah yeah~~~

thinking of you...

music & lyric by lois kwok

thinking of you, thinking of you,
wondering what you might be doing,
if you are sleeping, if you are dreaming,
please find me in your dreams...

thinking of me, thinking of me,
wondering what you might be doing,
if you are crying, if you are smiling,
i'll always be with you...

tonight, there are no miracles,
tonight, we have to find our own roads,
tomorrow, life might be difficult,
tomorrow, you'll have to go...

someday , or maybe somewhere,
we will somehow meet again.
someday or maybe somewhere,
we will somehow meet again...
maybe someday, somewhere, somehow...

thinking of me, Thinking of me,
wondering what you might be doing,
if you are crying, if you are smiling,
i'll always be with you... tonight~~~

mcdull, prince de la bun...

what an amazing and crazy movie... haha... really funny...

here comes the most impressive dialogue...
made by mcdull the youth:
dad was living in the past, while mum is in the future...
but i am the only one struggling in the present...

two years ago...

two years ago... it was my last day / morning in montreal... on my way to the dorval airport...

saying goodbye... hugging with friends... a moment that u would not know what to say... but i thought: it must be short... coz don't wanna cry...

then i was alone... with my luggage... sitting in the restricted area... looking at the signed CANADA hockey jersey... tears running down my face... i asked some silly questions - why i was here in last two years... why not staying one more day... why i should leave... why... why... why... so many "why"s...

anyway...

now two years have gone... thx God... i am now happy... i think i've got the answers to those questions... just wondering what's next... what i gonna be two years later... let's see...

p.s. happy wedding to karen & calvin the doc...

mamma mia...

the one and only one feeling - it is so wonderful... ^_^

haven't been to a "musical" like this... so yeah~~~ so pop~~~ so high~~~ becoz it is mamma mia...

woh... busy like a bee...

not a joke... have been being so busy (non-stop) after the TW trip... =p

my first-ever trip to TW was great... coz my boss has so many old friends there... we were so well taken care... haha... thank you so much, b/s in TW... even though no much time for sight-seeing... so what did i buy myself... a total of 9 CDs - christian music of all kinds... haha... anyway... this trip is really a good present for my 26th bday... and i would say - i will be there again, for sure~~~

my mum went to the ACM concert (on june 11)... even though she didn't accept Christ in the event... but she is still open to it... at least, she said that the concert was so nice... thx God... will definitely invite her to come to concerts at QE stadium in aug (aug 27-29)... "be with u, everyday"...

taiwan...

gonna be in taiwan this weekend for 4 days... not for sight-seeing... but it is a "business" trip... with my boss...

since we (CCCon) do have a very tight budget... so my boss couldn't make up his mind - whether to go... finally his decision was made on last thu... i have to go... and my first time being to taiwan...

we gonna have meetings with CCL-TW office... with some local Christian organisations (Seewant, Far East)... with audio-visual production house... and with some bro & sis in taiwan as well (having fellowship time on may 29 afternoon)...

leaving on may 29... be back on june 1... let u know more after the trip...

p.s. heard from my boss that we will be staying in an apartment located in Danshui... with beautiful scenery... a place for vacation rather than for work... haha... =p

p.p.s. so thxful for the ACM concerts... more than 50 ppl dedicate themselves to full-time serving... may Lord guide them and lead them... show them Your will... be with them... gonna have one more concert in Shatin on june 11... and i have asked my mum to come... pray for her heart and soul...

God with us - Emmanuel...

in last than 24 hours... the first concert of "God with us - Emmanuel" gonna be held in saiwanho civic centre... a new series of praise and worship produced by ACM...

so tired after today's 3-hour rehearsal... had to pay great attention to all the details... transition of songs... actions / swings... and also to memorize all those lyrics as well...

u may imagine how tough it gonna be for the singers, the praise team, the band and the dancers as well... esp for the singers... as they will be leading the flow of the programme... i know that they have been so busy and worked so hard for this set in the past months...

brothers and sisters... ADD OIL~~~ we gonna make it... it is worthy... coz it is more than a concert... it is a battle for the Almighty... to win the lost souls... to spread the good news...

the upcoming concerts will be held on tomorrow (may 10) @ saiwanho... may 14 & 15 @ yuenlong... one more on june 11 @ shatin... if u have time pls come (starts at 7.30pm, lasts for about 1.5 hrs) and let's praise together... if not... pls do pray for us and pray for the newcomers... hallelujah~~~

forever and ever...

filmed in 2000... it is a story about a hemophilia & HIV+ son - siu fu (a.k.a. chi mo) and his mother...

"though born with the potentially deadly disease of hemophilia, siu fu (chris lee) is determined to make his name as a writer... he faces the challenges of his life with the loving support of his mother (sylvia chang)... just as his career gathers momentum... siu fu learns that he has contracted HIV from a contaminated blood transfusion... with his days now numbered, siu fu must come to terms with his own fate... and in so doing... find inspiration for his greatest work..."

siu fu: "i have been waiting a miracle from God... to heal me... to recover me... but now i know... the miracle has happened... not that He heals me... but He makes use of my writings to change people's lives... and many have been changed..."

my choice...

have u taken a look at the description of my blog... it starts with "the choice has been made... there is no looking back"... yes - being a christian is the point of no return... maybe it sounds a little bit too serious... but somehow, i think, it is really the case...

in the past two weeks... i receive two calls...

ONE - a call from a local television station... the tv station invited me for an interview as they are looking for a corporate communication person... actually i hadn't sent any application since last nov... but they called... and it is my dream job - being a PR person in a media company... even though i know it gonna be a tough one...

TWO - my previous boss called... the german exhibition company... she asked if i would like to work with her again... as she need someone to help her in developing the new market... she tried very hard to persuade me... and said that i did have great protential (wah!)... disregard what she said... i was just too surprised to receive her call... and really dunno how to react at that particular moment... esp i only worked with her for just 4 weeks...

anyway... my answer to both calls - rejecting both invitations... really COOL, isn't it??? hahahaha...

yup - both jobs are so attractive... and both are the jobs which i have been longing for... some ppl may think that it is NOT a wise decision to reject both offers... BUT i have made my choice... at least i won't feel regret after i had just said "NO" in the phone... and no regret until now... i believe that it is NOT a "silly" decision...

COZ - my focus is clear... my path straight... my GOD reliable...

i trust that He will be with me... as long as it is His will... His plan... He will be responsible... so why i should fear...
